Don’t be fooled by FAKE QuickBooks Error Popups

We have received numerous calls from QuickBooks desktop clients alarmed at the following “Warning” popup on their computer. The error message is FAKE, but needs to be removed.

The message suggests calling Intuit support, but the number does NOT go to Intuit support. The suggested “troubleshooting” step also doesn’t work. Instead, a spammer is trying to get you to upgrade your QuickBooks.

Unfortunately, this isn’t a traditional malware that will be discovered using anti-malware software.
